Hello Everyone,
For those who do get to a working desktop, do you like what you see?
Is the menu easier to follow then in TEENpup 2009 Legacy?

Please when ready share your thoughts. There are a number of Apps you don't see regularly in most Distro releases._________________Legacy OS 2.1 LTS Released! Install me on a new! EXT2 Partition with 500Mb of swap and I'll be happy.
Legacy OS 4 Released! Install to newer legacy hardware / early EeePC's

I don't have any hardware to load this on just now, so I'm playing in a virtualbox...

So far, I'm really liking the distro. I like the newer, more polished look, the range of useful applications, and the fact that you have most of what *I* used or would like to use already installed and running on the system, including a couple of obscure things like frostwire, dia, and some of the other charting and mindmapping apps.

As an educational consultant, this distro is going to be one I recommend to my students.

Obviously I haven't had a chance to actually USE all of the apps you've included here, but I am going through it all and so far I have one question.

For chat apps, why is there only skype and Kmess? How would a person use either of the other two major chat services, Yahoo messenger or AIM?

I looked around and I'm either not finding a way to log into those accounts, or there isn't one, which means that I still need attym or pidgin (preferred).

Hello sullysat,
I know what you mean about chat applications. I spent a lot of time looking for ways to chat on more protocols. Opera has a widget that allows yahoo and aim chat and is easily added. But if you looking for a separate chat app then download jbuddy from here http://www.zionsoftware.com/products/messenger/ and unpack. just drag this file jbm.sh on to the desktop and rename it. I wanted to include jbuddy by default but it is propriety software not GPL or freeware and the full version requires you buy a licence. There's nothing to stop you or anyone else running this in any Puppy running Java.

I just had a few bumps. Moved the files to the / on the partition; edited grub; renamed my pup_save.2fs files; and after a full install, created /etc/ppp/peers/wvdial and edited resolv.conf and wvdial.conf.

Now everything's working great. This is excellent work, John! Thanks!

I would like to know, what is the best equivalent to a devx for Legacy OS?

Hello johnnywinner,
Because Legacy OS is built on top of Puppy 2.14 you would want to start with devx_214.sfs which appears to be no longer available. You could try devx_216.sfs and rename it to devx_214.sfs from the link below.

I don't know how much luck you will have as Legacy OS uses glibc 2.5 from Puppy 3.0 like ttuuxxx's 2.14x does.

What are you trying to compile? as there may be a usable package compiled somewhere else._________________Legacy OS 2.1 LTS Released! Install me on a new! EXT2 Partition with 500Mb of swap and I'll be happy.
Legacy OS 4 Released! Install to newer legacy hardware / early EeePC's

Legacy OS ran nicely from live CD on my 400Mhz P2, and as far as I could see the apps. did what it said on the tin, except that I could not get my networking configured. Not too surprising, as I'm running WPA2 security, and from memory I couldn't get wifi working until Puppy 4.2.1, with jermimah's Pwireless. So my impression? A good distro for older hardware, using ethernet, but wifi could be problematical.

Hello anyone trying Legacy OS what do you think of Kooldock and has anyone pressed "BG" at the bottom of the screen?_________________Legacy OS 2.1 LTS Released! Install me on a new! EXT2 Partition with 500Mb of swap and I'll be happy.

Its nice to have kooldock installed for those who wish to use it, and the background changer is a nice touch. Can it be tweaked or modified?

If you do any little updates, my personal preference would be to see some more professional theme choices and to be able to change the mouse theme. That's one thing that Puppy always needs IMO, and something that I always add.

But all that's just window dressing on what's already looking dang good!
